I flipped them to flower earlier this week so I can make space for some new stuff and I think they’re doing pretty well...no buds yet will try to stay more consistent with entries. Thanks for tuning in!! Happy growing! XD

Still going strong

So it's day 45 and not much has happened... pollinated them last week with blue silverhaze auto pollen... She don't make fat buds anymore... From now on, she will concentrate more on her offspring. So her being there was not completely in vain and her girls may be able to do it even better. Thanks for looking.. nor is it fun. There is always one who doesn't go so well. And nobody can do anything about the bad Werther or geoe... projects. Happy Growing Everyone!

Strong genetics, resistant, fast enough, easy to grow and never pretentious. I will try further training techniques on this strain, while waiting to make more room in the box to plant the Red hot cookie as well. If you like sweet flavors and fragrant plants this is definitely for you! Soon new updates for a cycle of only plants in "monstercropping", to continue my eternal red garden 😁🦄 thanks for following me up to here and leave a comment and suggestions 🦄👍🤘

Day 29-19/11/21 I’ve gave them nice bit of water today with bio grow and bloom. They are starting to bud!!!! Day 30-20/11/21 nothing new today just letting them grow!!!! Day 32- 22/11/21 I gave them water yesterday but forgot to take a pic a post it but everything is looking good!!!! Day 33-23/11/21 nothing new today but made a nice video for u all!!!! Day 35-25/11/21 I watered yesterday and I think I got a bit of burn I don’t know why but yeah tips are yellow!!

I did some heavy Super-Cropping on one of the gals this week to ensure a good even canopy, allowing all parts of the plant to receive an equal amount of light , it also maximizes my grow space, and allows for better efficiency as well. I only super-cropped 1 of them. The other girl I just done a lil LST and Defoliation on. We'll see how it goes. If all goes well I plan on flipping to a 12/12 light cycle to initiate flowering on the final day of week 4. Leaf Transpiration has increased, which also means higher water uptake. Gave a Full dose nutrient solution this feeding and it seemed to take well to it and has proven beneficial to the plants. Vpd remains between .9 - 1.1. PPFD still slightly above 600 across the entire canopy. 660 closer to center under the light. Overall even light distribution.

A friend gave me a clone of his Black Domina. First week i added the recommended dose for a clone of the nectar line. I got a little nute burn so i flushed it a little with ph to 6,3 water. Looking a little better. We will see what happens in the next few days. Pictures are about a day and a half after i gave it the recommended nute dose for clones.

week 5 of veg flipped to 12/12 on 12/15 first week of flower comming up lets see how much these ladies strech to the light i have it maxed out in the tent so i hope i cam leave it full blast for flower.

The plants fully recovered from light burn are putting up a nice show .. well grow. They are all still very green, and the buds are fat with a good density. All three start some kind of foxtailing. All the buds, top, center and bottom on the three plants produce extra flowering sites that protrude from the bud. Now, hopefully these will fatten up until harvest somewhere in two weeks from now. I'm keeping a close eye on humidity and temperature in order to keep the bud rot at bay!

The plants are thriving in their 4th week of flowering, and I couldn’t be happier with their progress! 🌟 Adjusting the nutrient mix for the coco substrate has really paid off, and both plants are responding beautifully. The trichome production is impressive on both, but interestingly, the plant without LST is slightly ahead in development compared to the LST variant. 🌿💨 The buds are forming nicely, and there’s already a noticeable aroma in the grow space. It’s predominantly sweet, with hints of something deeper starting to come through. 🍭✨ So far, everything is looking on track, and I can’t wait to see how they progress in the coming weeks!💚💚💚

beautifull

Lets start.

Everyone is officially in flush mode, washing away all the chemicals in the coco and attached to the roots, making sure I flush them with atlas 50% runoff, I flush em with 14L of plain PH water at 6.4.

April 19, 2024 Day 64 We are coming up on the 10 week mark soon enough. I'm expecting both of these ladies to start swelling buds any day. So another 2 weeks before harvest. Probably 3 to 4 more weeks. Tropicana Cookies is actually 31" tall while Tropicana C is 28" tall. However, due to the highest points being so tall, I have those tops as far on the outside of the light footprint as I can. I managed to get the DLI down to 50 mol/m²/d for each plant. While the rest of the canopy is happily at 45 mol/m²/d. No watering today. Maybe tomorrow. The water intake has increased a bit over the past couple of days, so I may be topping off tomorrow or early morning the day after. I'm also getting some nutrient burn from what I believe is the Overdrive. I have it at full dose and honestly think it's too much. So I'm cutting it in half as well as Bud Candy. That's also at full dose and I don't think it's needed. So cutting that in half as well. The light will be staying the same for the next 2 weeks now that the plants have hit their final height. I'm guessing that's how much longer it will be before flushing. I'll drop the light power at the same time as flush. The flush should be about a week. The environment is giving me a hard time today. The temp is high at 78° with the humidity high as well at 56%. Not really sure what's causing it, but I'll turn my damn AC on if I have to. Anyway, I'm still having trouble keeping it at 50% humidity, so getting to 45% seems unrealistic. So I'll work with 50% and just make sure to check for any signs of mold or anything. I don't think I'll get anything like that, but you never know. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 53.3% VPD: 1.31 kPa April 20, 2024 Happy 420!!! Not much going on today with these 2. They will both need watering tomorrow. So they are finally at a half gallon a day. The 2 other plants in the tent are also at a half gallon a day, but they are on the opposite schedule. It works for me. Gives me something to do everyday, but not sitting there for a half hour mixing nutrients. (I use 1 gallon jugs for each plant) Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are starting to swell and stack. They are just about ready to start swelling up. I can tell they will be super tight as well. There are a couple places where the pistils are orange and shriveled up. The bud is super dense. However, that could be seeds. I'm not too sure at this point. It's a high possibility. Tropicana C also has a couple tops with the same type of super dense buds. Again, these two are identical in every way. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same top doing the same thing. Anyway, looking super good. Buds from top to bottom. They aren't big and fat yet, but there still a good 2 to 3 weeks left. Hopefully less though. I have 4 more plants I have to start today for a contest. Unfortunately those plants will be stuck ina. 2x2 until these ones are out of the tent. The lighting hasn't changed whatsoever and won't for the next 2 weeks. The environment is looking great now. It's steadily climbing up from 68° last night and is at about 75° now and will definitely be at 76° in about an hour. The humidity is great at 51%. As I said yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to drop it down any further. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 52.3% VPD: 1.30 kPa April 21, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got watered today. Not much else going on though. Tropicana Cookies was nearly dry, but not quite. Unfortunately, Tropicana C was bone dry. I don't like it getting dry. The wick system gets messed up. But it did give me a chance to quickly wipe down the basin. Both plants have nutrient burn from what I assume was the dose of Overdrive. So today I left it out. Just to allow the nutrients to even out. Next watering I'll be doing 4 ml of it. I also dropped the Bud Candy down to 4 ml. Just Incase it was partly that as well. The lighting was, of course, not changed at all. The power will be dropped in the next week or so. This strain should have a 6 week flowering stage. 45 days is the estimate. So there's about 3 weeks left. Much longer than I was expecting. Honestly it's from the 5 week veg period. I find it strange that I didn't get any massive plants in 5 weeks. At the end of the grow, we will be hitting just under 12 weeks. No clue why I can't get my plants to grow at the suggested time frame. The earliest I have ever harvested was 11 weeks. Or maybe 12. Strange. I'll have to figure that out. The environment is looking good today. The temp is leveled out at 75° and the humidity is happily at 49%. The VPD is a little low at 1.39 kPa, but it will fix soon enough. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 49.7% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 22, 2024 Definitely nothing going on today. Tropicana C had a couple leaves popped off today. Just a couple that were covering some bud sites and encroaching on other tops. Tropicana Cookies looks great! I will say her buds aren't fat like I was expecting. They seem more like sativa buds. It's strange. They are thin and small and look super airy. I'm not sure if this is the deal, but both plants look like this. Only time will tell. Tropicana C also looks quite good, with the same bud swelling issues, but we shall see as I said. She got 2 leaves removed. They were being crushed by the wall and in turn were overcrowding other bud sites. The lighting is staying the same of course. I believe an a week or 2, I'll have to drop the intensity. The environment is once again looking great! 75° and 50% humidity. The overnight temp is still at 68°. I'd much rather it be at 66°. Maybe I'll cool my room off earlier in the evening to allow the tent to cool faster at night, so the temp drops to the average of 66°. I'll start that next week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 49.2% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 23, 2024 Nothing going on today. Just the daily inspection. What I've discovered has me a bit confused. Both plants have tons of orange pistils with some being so shriveled up you can't see them. Those buds are super tight, but I have a feeling those couple tops like that are seeded. I'll find out soon enough. Honestly, I can't tell. Don't really know what I'm looking for. The problem I'm confused about is the size of the buds. They're tiny, wispy and look underdeveloped. Maybe they are. Who knows. Maybe this strain gets early orange pistils. We shall see. I hope they swell up. Like a lot. As it stands now, it looks like an oz of smalls. Which of course is unacceptable. However, both plants are doing it, so it has to be the strain. Something I probably shouldn't be all that concerned with. I'm leaving the light where it is for the next week or so. With the pistils already turning orange, I'm thinking I should prepare for the final stage of flower. I would expect it to be done in the next 2 to 3 weeks, but it may be less time. Anyway, I'll see what they are doing next week and work from there. The environment is actually looking really good. I managed to get the temp up significantly earlier today by cranking my heat to 88°. It brought the tent temp up to 78° and the humidity just below 50%. Looking good. Now all I have to do is drop the temp a little bit to get to that perfect 75°. Also, my dehumidifier wasn't on. I must of have it off from the other day. So I should see lower humidity by the end of the day. Especially after I adjust the temp. Looking good. Update: I've been thinking about how the buds are so small. I wonder if I took the Big Bud out too early and added the overdrive too soon. I can't go back to Big Bud, but that could be the cause. Still, another 2 to 3 weeks left. So we shall see. But an interesting thought. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 49.0% VPD: 1.42 kPa April 24, 2024 Both ladies got a reservoir refill today. Tropicana C was dried out. So I need to keep a better eye on the water levels. Tropicana Cookies wasn't dried out yet though, very close but not yet. Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are finally starting to swell and if there's another 2 weeks, I can expect them to get huge. We shall see. Tropicana C has the same boost in bud production and has swelling buds now. Everything else looks good with her. Speaking of swelling buds and production, both ladies are completely covered in trichomes. Not quite "frosty" yet, but getting there. I'll start with trichome pics next week. That way we have some good specimens to work with. On another note, the aroma these two are putting off is intense now. I'll have to change the smell setting to STRONG next week. It's a sickly sweet smell, but crispy. Not too heavy, but definitely has a gassy undertone. Very nice. I won't be moving the light at all for the rest of the grow. However, I may drop the power down to 80% next week and bring the DLI down to 40 mol/m²/d. But maybe not. I'm waiting for the flushing period. I'm not sure when that will be. Maybe 2 weeks? I can't tell with this strain. So many orange pistils and she looks like she is nearly done, but definitely not. They still have a good two weeks left. We shall see. The environment is a bit off today. It's raining, so the humidity is hanging out around 52%. The temp is fine at around 75° to 76°. I'm not too worried about the environment today. Just thought I would note the difference. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 50.9% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 25, 2024 So today is the last day of week 9 and also going into the first day of late flower. Things will most likely be changing up in the next week. Nutrients, lighting and environment. Not much to do today. No watering needed and no maintenance. I checked out both plants and as I was saying yesterday, the trichomes are looking great and will start getting pics starting tomorrow. Everything looks good for both ladies. The lighting of course wasn't messed with today. That will be changing at some point next week. The environment is shaping up to be great for the start of late flower. I got the temp down to 65° last night and the humidity down to 48°. Today I have had it around 76° with the humidity around 49%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 49.3% VPD: 1.43 kPa

I took the tiny plant out of the tent due to state laws. She is happily sitting in a window... we'll see what happens with her! Massive growth for both plants this week! They both doubled in size! I don't know whether to call my plants vegging, pre-flowering or flowering. I figured this was the last week of veg and next week is full on flowering!! They both stink! Gassy for sure! I'll need to turn start using my carbon filter soon... I caught a few cool time lapse videos this week. Especially after feeding them last night!! I fed them twice this week. The first time was at a third recommended dose and I jumped it to half yesterday. The leaves are clawing at the top of the plants... I think it is a lack of phosphorus due to me only watering them the last 2 weeks. Any thoughts out there? I'd love advice about defoliating... I have a couple massive fan leaves I could remove to open the canopy for flowers... I just don't want to stunt the plant or rob the main cola of a major energy source... Thoughts are definitely welcome! I tried my hand at LST... I think a few are working and a few aren't doing the job... Definitely need to figure this out! Again advice is welcome! If you've made it this far... thanks!! Cheers!

And she's off 👊🏻 Got a good bit of growth in this week. Super cropped a few of the branches cause they shot right past the others. Perked right back up though no worries. Officially on flower now, she's a light feeder through veg I had to cut the nutes right down, let's hope I can get a bit into her through flower, she is starting to drink a lot more anyway so we'll see. All good here, couple more weeks and I reckon she'll be good to pollinate.

Got some stress 😔😔😔 Couldn't watter her at the time. Will she be ok?
